Fantasy Fudge

What would Christmas be without fudge? We have been making this recipe with my Mom ever since I can remember. It comes right from the back of the marshmallow creme package. It is chocolaty, creamy, delicious, and pretty easy. We usually make some with nuts and some without, just to please everyone. All of the ingredients are really simple and it makes 3 lbs. Now the only problem will be getting it out of the house before you eat it all!
